Subject: [PATCH] make git-prune-script actually work
Message-ID: <1114351135.4997.18.camel@mulgrave>

I find this script very useful to get back to where I started from after
test merges, and also for cloning trees from a non-current base.  The
functionality is altered so it now takes an optional commit argument
(and a -q flag to make it be quiet).
